NEWSLETTER MARCH 2013
A SMASH HIT
The
play reading of « Love Letters » was a smash hit. We had a full
house, almost 50 people came to enjoy the talents of Katharine Claringbull and
Lawrence McGuire. Many thanks to the organisers, Philippe Marchand, Caroline
DiMiceli and Phil Claringbull.
Date 12 April at 6pm Venue: Martin Luther King Annex, 27 Boulevard Louis
Blanc Montpellier
There will be a small charge of 5 euros which will also entitle you to
drinks and nibbles. Please prepare an envelope with 5 euros per person inside
to hand in when you arrive. This small sum covers the drinks and nibbles,
anything left over goes to buy new books.
Please send an email to foal@dbmail.com before 6th April to let
us know if you plan to attend so that we can organise quantities. This event is
open to all.
MAGAZINES
Thanks to members who subscribe to various magazines we have a good
choice of
publications
The Economist The Week (a compilation of world news)
London Review of Books
The Spectator (political comment
and culture)
Intelligent Life (a
cultural magazine published by the Economist Group)
The Oldie (culture and
fun for older members!) Time
NEW
BOOKS
The new books
have arrived, another excellent choice which should ensure some happy reading
for all tastes. We keep very much up to date with new literature but obviously
we have to make choices given our limited funds and need to remain pretty
mainstream.
There are some
good books in the permanent Book Sale, some of which we may donate to the
library on the beach in Carnon in the summer for tourists in exchange for some
publicity
DATE
